Ö around the world: Ö ambassador reaches Peru’s Huascaran Mountain!

Our ambassador françois-guy thivierge at the peak of huascaran with Ö products!Our ambassador François-Guy Thivierge braved the famous peak of Mount Huascaran in Peru, towering at 6,768 meters, with Ö products by his side to provide all the essential vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed for his ascent. This experience stands out as one of the most challenging highlights in his ambitious project to climb 55 mountains in 55 months.Huascaran is the world’s highest tropical mountain range, known for its deep ravines, glacial lakes, and diverse vegetation, making it a stunning and dramatic landscape. "For me, this was one of the toughest of the 55 challenges. It requires several days of trekking at altitude, setting up camps, transporting food, and a lot of planning", shares François-Guy Thivierge.He adds that Ö products truly contributed to his successful ascent. In the mountains, climbers cannot carry bottled water due to weight, and the freezing would cause it to freeze too quickly. To stay hydrated, they melt and boil snow, which contains no minerals. Adding Ö products to the melted snow provides the vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed for high-altitude days! François-Guy chose the CHRÖNO flavor from the Ö Health Solution Sport line!

6 reasons why drinking water is great for your body

It's well known that water is essential for life. But why exactly? Here’s an overview of the reasons staying hydrated is so important. Ö explains why it’s crucial to stay hydrated. There are plenty of benefits to drinking water! Staying hydrated isn’t just about wetting your throat; various functions of the human body rely on good hydration. Ö invites you to discover a few of them. Drinking water for the brain Contrary to popular belief, having a “head full of water” is a good thing! Did you know that the brain is made up of 85% water? Proper hydration allows for better concentration, greater alertness, and reduced feelings of fatigue. Drinking water for the blood A bit of biology and math! Blood is made up of 55% plasma, and plasma is 90% water. This means blood is 50% water! Blood’s role is to carry oxygen and nutrients to muscles, organs, and the brain to give them the energy they need to function. It’s crucial to have an adequate blood volume to transport these essential resources throughout the body. Drinking water to regulate body temperature This one’s simple and logical! When it’s hot, or during a fever or intense physical activity, body temperature rises above normal. This is when our body’s temperature regulation system kicks in: sweating, which helps us cool down. To make up for this water loss, it’s essential to drink more! Drinking water for better digestion Did you know that digestion starts in the mouth when we chew, and saliva, which contains digestive enzymes, is primarily made up of water? Drinking water for healthy skin An easy tip to check if you’re dehydrated: pinch your skin. If a fold forms and the skin takes a moment to bounce back, it’s a sign of dehydration. Skin is composed of 80% water, so it’s essential to drink enough to keep it soft and flexible. Skin also serves as a protective barrier; dry skin can easily become damaged, creating an entry point for bacteria—something that should not be overlooked. Urine is 95% water, and water passes through the kidneys, which act as filters to remove metabolic and toxic wastes from the body. Drinking enough water is necessary to renew our urine and support proper elimination! Feeling thirsty is already a sign of dehydration, so what are you waiting for? Grab your favorite reusable water bottle, fill it up, and add a bit of your favorite Ö flavor!
